1) If someone hits that buckler with any force you will break your arm since there is no padding and the metal bar isn’t shaped for you.

2) It is a table that you can;t use as a table, unless you don’t mind dropping all of your stuff.

3) I can totally see someone stepping on that little metal pin sticking out of the plate after they have thrown their phone to the floor in order to beat up a crackhead, then needing to call 911 for the broken arm.

Or, you could do as I do: keep a loaded XD .45 magnetized to the bottom of my nightstand. Just put a big magnet inside your drawer, and the gun will stick right to the underside… invisible unless you know its there. If you need it, just reach under and pull it off, much better and practical than this.

I love this. I work at Medieval Times I have a shield and Ax on my wall. In the dark and the intruder not knowing where you are. You have the advantage . This can work.
Hide in the shadows,backhand them in face with the shield then smash their knee(harder to block) ,arm then head shot.

If anyone could break your arm through that buckler they’d have probably broken your arm without it there. I’d prefere the buckler padding as opposed to none at all.
Nice idea, I’d buy one if I had money to burn.

As much as I love the devolution of this conversation, can we please spell gauge and defense correctly? Just, look smart. It’ll pay off while you’re bagging groceries at the local Dollar General. One day they’ll recognize your talent and let you lead a department. A small one first, maybe the cosmetics. Then, when you’ve proven your worth, just maybe you’ll get the chance you’ve always wanted. All because you looked smarter than you are able to articulate.

Very true that having a handgun doesn’t mean you have to kill said person.
However in many situations the people that hide a handgun have it turned against them since they NEVER have even fired it before.
Best bet is to have a cell phone next to you , no land line , and call the police , throw the matress against the bedroom door and say in the room , its called insurance for a reason.

Um…. So to be clear…
You take your alarm clock, water, alkazelsers and (for those single men your PB and Vaseline)
and throw it on the floor to convert your nightstand who’s MAIN PURPOSE is to house said things, to go fight the bump in the night…..

LOL @ Mcdoodlehead

Very RARELY do people get their handgun wrestled away from them by the perpetrator, and most people who legally have firearms know how to use them, this is coming from an American who asserts his right to defend himself. I don’t shoot every day and i’m not some delta force combat bad ass. but I, along with most responsible gun owners know how to use a firearm. you dolt.
Insurance isn’t but a piece of paper that will pay your families fees for your funeral because you decided not to defend yourself.

The problem with weapons is that they can get into the wrong hands. If two people enter your premises and each one grabs each arm and takes your sheild and club they will likely do to you what you were going to do to them. If you have intruders in your home nothing is as good as a gun as you don’t have to get anywhere near the intruder for it to be affective

if u let someone close enough to take your gun and turn it on you thats your problem and you should never have had the gun. In order for it to be for self defense you have to be able to keep it on you and be able to fire it……9 times out of 10 if you fire into the air the perp will run screaming from your house…..we are programmed to avoid danger to our personage:) I personally can hit someone with my Glock 23 from 35 yards in the kneecaps….or in the head…. if they are in my house, I will stop the threat they pose on my family with the full means at my disposal…..whether I deem it one shot or 14. They had the option to not come into my house…I did not have the option to not let them into my house

@self defence gun person
Willing to let off up to 14 rounds in your house to protect your family? After you’re done shooting your family will most likely be leaking blood from your rapid fire in your home you fucking moron. Who the fuck let you have a gun?

Just because YOU don’t know how to handle a firearm doesn’t mean that the rest of us are inept. My home is well protected with FIREARMS. And, yes, even the kids are proficient in their use and know which walls in the house will NOT stop a bullet and which ones will. Either way, the only time ANYONE in this house will stop shooting at an intruder is when we are OUT OF AMMUNITION! (And we all LOVE high capacity magazines!)

Most people that stop aggression with a gun never report it because of all the BS u have to go through when u do. U dont how many people have stopped the bad guy with a gun but its way more than reported and they are seldom fired in the process.

On the other hand if Chuck Norris decides to become a thief I’ll just go to house and give him all my stuff.

why is this not for sale someone realy needs to get into production of these i mean for a country thats not all carrying guns its a perfect bit of piece of mind also ideal for the eventual zombie apocalypse your ready even while tucked up in bed so whoever was the genius behind this get it into production now there is a need for your furniture/weaponry so please i beg you start making and selling these

and for all the people commenting about unscrewing it look at the angle of the bat on the base screwing or unscrewing would not be possible it just slots together and for all the people commenting on there guns more people are shot in accidental home shooting in america than actual home defence so …..

Hey, I keep a 15″ steel buckler (14 gauge sheet-metal) and a decent replica of a medieval war-hammer close at hand (as well as a level IIa ballistic vest, if I have time to throw it on). I prefer a gun, but I have small kids, and can’t afford a fancy “quick access” pistol safe right now. The worst they can do to themselves with the hammer is drop it on their toes (and maybe learn not to play with it after that…). Who needs this gimmicky thing?

Greeting from the US. How much is this item, and how can it be ordered. There does not seem to be navigation from this page. Yes, I do like it because while of course a gun may offer more protection, I’d rather injure and disable an intruder than kill. Just a personal choice, though I respect that others may disagree.
